2 people in the house don't have wireless cards for their laptops, so I picked up a pair of (really) cheap ones. These work, and they're only 11Mbit (enough for general browsing), but unfortunately the range isn't very good. Given their price, I'm considering ditching them and recommending something better for the guys to get, but will there be any noticable improvement?
Currently I live in a 4-story house, and the AP is in the basement, but my IBM t42 laptop still picks the signal up on the top floor fine. The pcmcia ones have difficulty even on the ground floor.
Any recommendations for cards which do WPA, aren't too expensive, and have a good range?

Oops, didn't think they were classed as a competitor, the expression was just a turn of phrase, not a disguise attempt. Apologies.
